When the jury returns wuth the verdict acout says it was like watching atticus walk into the street raise a rifle to his shoulder and pull the trigger but watching all the time knowing the gun was empty what is the significance of the empty gun?

The quote in question comes from chapter twenty-one from Harper Lee's novel "To Kill a Mockingbird".

The empty gun signifies Atticus's actions of trying to defend Tom Robinson knowing he had tried his best and tried extremely hard, despite knowing the whole time the case was on that there was no chance that he will win the case.

1. this would be first person. it would be like "i walked home from school today" they are the narrator of the story and is a character as well.

2. first person because they used the word "i" in the quote.

3. i'm really not sure about this one i'm really sorry i never read it so i wouldn't know how to answer it. 

4. it would be character vs. society because everyone he meets there is always a conflict of some sort because he's stuck in his daydream.

5. it would be sadness at the loss of youth because the title itself tells us it's about age so it couldn't be about regret. and the tone just sounds sad, not angry. 

i hope this !
